    Hi,

    Can anyone help me solve this calculation please, here it is :

    Calculate the number of millimoles of
    (a) Dextrose, and
    (b) Sodium ions in 1 litre of Sodium Chloride and Dextrose injection containing 4.3% w/v of anhydrous dextrose and 0.18% w/v of sodium chloride.

    Molecular weight of Dextrose = 180.2
    Molecular weight of Sodium Chloride = 58.5


    I have no idea from were to start. I have just started a course of pharmacy technicians and would like some help on how to work this calculation out.
    I thank yuo in advance,

    Regards,
    Nunudada

    This looks relatively useful. Try to find a resource that works for you -- a book, a website, etc. Presumably you'll have a lot of these sorts of exercises coming up, so best to find a reliable source that can help you learn along the way.
